large ribbon bow sg3inst the front CON-
pletes the extremely simple ard lady-like
costume.
POloDaises sre again becoming fash
ionaole. Many are drawn back from the
front with the sides caught high 50 as to
show the lower skirt, while others adj
here to the apron front with short hip
panier. These polonaises are in ccmbi-
nation suits, admitting considerable
license in choicefof colors.
For evening dresses for the misses
there is 10 more economical fashion than
the one now in vogue of using pretty
tinted cschemires, as every mother knows
the after uses of material that admits of
cleansing and dYeing. For the wee party
gOers, white corduroy is fayOrite mate
rial, as, in appropriateness of color,
warmth is not sacrificed, and no future
colds ere to be dreaded.
MoDEL OF A STREET DRESS.
Philadelphia News.
Ore Of the most attractive street COS
tunes CT the past week was OF myrtle
green diagonal. Around the foot Of the
foundation skirt rested q narrow plating.
TIE long straight GrGperv in front was
crossed on the with three bias bands Of
green Astrakha1 cloth, four inches wide,
these bands running from right to lgft.
Tie back gracefully draped. Sleeves
hsve q broad cuff # the Astrakh9n. The
green felt ma has higl cr0wG and rather
brosd blim, projecting over the face in
front and rolled high on each ide.
The trimming is composed OF loops Of
green, old red and old gold ribbons,
| gracefully arrang d in front with &
roulesuX about the crown. Upon the
shoulders was worn cape of otter fur,
and the heavy stitched KID gloves IN =tChed
the fur in color. The costume was sim
| pie, but beautiful, and the pattern could
be copied by almost any home dress
maker. | have lately seen really beau
tiful dress, made for very stylish lady,
of black silk and mahogany colOred vel
vet. The front CT the dress IS in kilt
pIaits, the silk and velvet alternating.
On the right side is a stylish panier
of silk lined with velvet and bordered
with small jet sequins, the top
falling in labot, the lower
part plain. Upon the left side are
three short straps of velvet reaching from
the waist in graduated lengths, the first
about fifteen inches long. the last about
twenty, and these are finished with
point bordered with jet sequins. These
points Of velvet are mingled with slight
drapery of silk, while the loopings at the
back are slight, but graceful. The pointed
front Of the bodice is finished in plaits
like the skirt, these plaits extending only
to the bust; the upper part of the waist
trimmed with velvet in the bOlero jacket
style. Such waist trimming, however,
would Ouly BIZ suitable for slight figure;
but there are other equally pretty effects
for stout ladies that can be substituted.
BAGS FOR THE OPERA.
TIE latest fashionable caprice, invented
l
itals, is the opera bag, and 10 one know
ing what is Cue t. her social rositioD APP
pears in The stall IF theater or coucert
without one. The great object is to Sc
cure proper color, so that VIII the bag
FISTS upon the Jap it will be feature in
connection with the dress. Plush is
said to be the ma, rial most favored,
and She shape is simple - merely
tn ri
inches from the top, forming frIll.
Ruby plush, lined with pink; brown,
lined win gold; pink, with pale blue
these are the most useful COl0TS, as they
hsrmoHize with the prevailing shades of
evening dresses. An economist may get
through 6 season respectfully with a
couple Of oags-say ruby and brown
but the number depends on the variety
OF the evening dresses. Gold cord ana
gold embroidery make some of the op-
Persian Mede law respecting the embel-
ishmenls.-[ Paris Letter.
